Re: All stressed out
In Response To: Re: All stressed out ()

Thanks Dori, it's great to have the reassurance. How long have you been doing it? Yes I think I am trying to rush it all and deal with it but I need to take a slower approach to this. I too now love breakfast - it's hard to believe I went years without it!! I just need to get my head around the protein element as that seems to be my stumbling block.

I'm a bit of an all or nothing person, which means you end up giving up very easily when things don't go amazingly well first off!! I need to pace myself. I think I suddenly thought on no I can't have any sugar at all and then worried about the 'up-regulation- and having full on responses if I did have sugar. Got myself in a right pickle! But, I guess it's all part of thelearning curve isn't it. You have to make mistakes to learn from them.

Thanks again :)

: Hi AE: :h24)

: When I first started the program I
: asked all the same questions you
: are asking. :h26) Would I need to
: stop eating sugar? Would I need to
: stop drinking diet drinks? Would I
: need to go off my anti-depressant?
: Would I have to give up caffeine?
: :s3(

: Kathleen, herself answered and said
: "You don't HAVE to give up
: anything." :h11) I was a bit
: shocked and non plussed by that
: answer. But, it is true. This is a
: program of abundance. :h7) I added
: in things before I ever took them
: out and carefully, slowly went
: through the steps. I had a lot of
: things to learn and changes to
: make, but they aren't hard if you
: do very small steps (we call them
: nanos) at a time. I have tried at
: times to cut various things out of
: my diet cold turkey, but that
: never works for me. :s2( I am a
: taper kind of girl. :h6)

: The first step is my favorite. I
: guess because I have come to love
: my breakfast and look forward to
: it. Just focusing on breakfast and
: getting step one down made a very
: huge change in my life.

: PS You don't have to read the whole
: book first. :h3) I just read the
: chapter on the step I was on right
: before and while I was doing the
: step. I didn't get as stressed out
: :s4( that way.

: I look forward to hearing from you!
